Flappie & Toeter
By the name Flappie & Toeter me and my girlfriend and artist Grady van den Bosch, form an artist duo. We develop projects like interventions, comments and visuals with a light satire as a reaction to life and society.
On this page there will be a selection of projects.
The names Flappie and Toeter are the nicknames we have for each other.
The logo on the left is a design by myself.
THE REFLECTION DOT
This is a project for the near future. We plan to make interventions in the public space, where we invite people on the street, or for example in shelter homes, to stand on a large, mobile dot on the floor. And then we ask them to reflect on situations in life, in silence. We plan to not only have the physical encounters but also make online content with it.
The birth of the Reflection Dot
The idea was already growing for a few years, but in the summer of 2024 we started with a special moment in Paris. We were having lunch and we noticed that the white, round cover of the round bistro table did have the same shape as we imagined for the Reflection Dot. And so I drew the first design of the dot on this table cover. And with that, the Reflection Dot was born.
We will develop I life size dot with a diameter of about 1 meter.
VISUALS
As a duo we develop al kinds of visuals, as a reaction to things we notice in life and society. We turn it around and show a different kind of vision on the subject.
In this visual (picture under) we play with the name of our prime-minister Schoof. We conjugate his name as if it was a verb: slid slide slid
